Fun joke at Sony's expense but it's going to spectacularly backfire when Microsoft inevitably announces that the next Xbox won't support physical discs.

Same stunt Samsung pulls when Apple does something like remove the headphone jack.

This is the worst part. They could actually capitalize on announcing Xbox wont drop physical media, but obviously that's not happening.

It reminds me of Google proudly boasting their headphone jack when Apple removed theirs, then OnePlus proudly boasting their headphone jack when Google removed theirs.

The backfiring is baked in, if you think about it: This program is going to die in just a few days, while Sony is going to continue selling physical games for years.

The next Xbox already dropped physical media. The rog x ally Xbox portable is the last xbox branded gaming device.

Remember when Microsoft held a mock funeral for the iPhone? They’re all bark no bite.
